After visiting the creepy Catacombs, Funnel and I had a late lunch on a cafe terrace (under some big heaters – thank goodness!)

I had a nicoise salad:

Funnel had a clazone that was bigger than his plate:

And we split a plate of french fries:

Then we headed to where we knew we could get the best view of Paris: the Arc de Triomphe.

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned by Napoleon, and it took thirty years to complete it!  We took a long spiral staircase, went through a little museum, and then took another staircase to the top, where we had a beautiful 360 degree view of Paris. 

Paris was lovely, and I definitely was feeling bummed that it was our last day there!  There was so much that we didn’t get to see.  (That means we’ll have to come back again someday!)
